Short of a a serious missed step (like 4e), d&d will remain king.
Pseudo medieval fantasy is very approachable.
The technology and general low education of the world make for a simple setting without endless skill lists.
Fantasy settings, aside from grim dark, can be hopeful and thats what most prefer. Hardcore dark and apocalyptic settings have limited appeal or don't seem to draw in players for long campaigns.
The leveling up, as much as it's ridiculed by "serious" roleplayers, is love by just about everyone else.
I don't know. People have been trying to come up with better systens and setting since dnd first came out, but none for an extended time have been able to take the crown. Again, short of their own missed steps.
Who knows, if dnd continues down the path of getting rid of player race attribute differences so that essentially everyone is the same with a different skin suits or the furry player concept then maybe they will start losin fans once more.
